I know who I'll be voting for, but it's too bad that anybody outside of southern border states will only see him as a kook who thinks that people should have more freedom than they can be trusted with.

I'd vote for him regardless of what party he ran with. Only exception would be if Tancredo ran on the Republican ticket and Paul ran third party. Then I'd vote for Tancredo. Not because Tancredo is better. I think Paul is better, but because anyone running on the Republican party has a good chance of winning, and Tancredo is good enough a candidate that I wouldn't feel like I was wasting my vote putting another Republican in office. Short of someone at least as good as Tancredo running as a Republican, and Paul has my vote even if he ran third party. Naturally, he will have my vote regardless if he is on the Republican ticket. I will certainly vote for him in the Republican Primaries too.

As much as I hold Republicans in low regard, I gotta say that he will get my vote.
I can't even spell Julliani.

Finally... a Republican candidate that I could vote for in 2008.

Good point Hawkeye. It would be a tough choice 'tween Tancredo and Paul should it come to that. Paul's politics are more in line with my own than Tancredo's, but I do recognize the difficulty of 3rd parties in national elections.
Better would be a Tancredo/Paul ticket for the Republicans. But I suspect that'll happen when the Christian Hell gets a blizzard.

Gonna have to switch from IND to REP in time for the primary.
What relief--no "lesser of two evils" vote for once.

Paul is a GOOD choice, to me.
I believe Tancredo has already fatally shoved his own foot in his mouth by publically calling Florida a "third world country".

IIRC, Tancredo likened Miami to a third world city. Not the whole state of Florida.

But the damage is already done.
Paul has no such foot in mouth disease issues.

This is GREAT news. Ron Paul is like a reincarnation of one of the Founding Fathers and the only REAL conservative in Congress that I'm aware of. He's very much for nonintrusive government, civil liberties, RKBA, and foreign policy that puts the US first (rather than starting bloody, trillion-dollar wars because a red heifer was born in Israel or whatever). Unlike probably any other current politician at the federal level, he respects the Constitution.
A veto-wielding Dr. Paul in the Oval Office is EXACTLY what this country needs.

Does he have a Ron Paul for President website?
Tancredo/Paul or Paul/Tancredo...either way, that's my vote.
R or "Third Party"...yep that's my vote.
Not sure which would be worse...McCain or Rudy G...but for me, neither of those. They ALMOST would make me vote for Hitlery Klinton.
Note I said ALMOST. So keep the flames no higher than the knees, please.....HA!

Well If Paul did win the primary, which I highly doubt since the Religious right would never allow it. He would loose by a landside to most of the current Democrats in the running including Hillary(if she runs). He will alienate far to many people, and easily painted as a Right wing extremist by the media. He might be well liked by people on this board, but most people on this board are pretty far to the right compared to the rest of the voting public. The Republicans need to run a moderate who, also is very pro RKBA to bad I can not think of one at this time.

Paul seems like a a candidate I can vote for.
Tancredo is probably a man I agree with on a number of issues, but I doubt he could win a pres election. His various controversies make it far too easy to color him as a xenophobic bigot. He might be good to go, but the Miami incident and the "Singing with racists" incident don't look good. If he walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

I know I will be voting for him in the NH primary, without any shadow of a doubt. He is a personal hero of mine.

Yes, this might just be the time for someone like Paul to have a good chance. Lots of people are getting very tired of the nonsense, and if he can get his message out, even a little, he will do well, I think.
And I don't get the comment about the religious right opposing him. He is a Constitutionalist. Any real Constitutionalist is going to be in favor of federalism, which means local communities will regain the control they had before the Supreme Court gave that control over to the Federal Government, i.e., control over things like abortion law and religious expression. The religious right would eat that up.

Don't count all of us out. I'm in Michigan, and I'd gladly vote for him. If he's a Republican leaning toward Libertarian, I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone on here not willing to vote for someone like that since most of us seem to vote for one of those two parties.
As a libertarian physician, he'd be great for health care, too. That's a big plus in light of the current health care "crisis" the Democrats put us into with managed care. This guy is the front runner, IMO. He shares a lot of interests with me, and he actually adheres to the Constitution.
